Doesn't this happen every new COD ? the reviews appear and it seems that its 'the one everyone has been waiting for since '

Folks get it and week or 2 down the line its same old same old. Yoshi was gonna get it - and wanted me to go 1/2ers on it.. something about getting from the HK store making it £15 each.. But that didnt work. Next he was on about £20 each.. which was too much for me I played the last one (or was it the one before).. the one that came out around the time the boner did.. Lasted 1.5 games before turning it off again.

you just cant trust reviews with call of marmite. they all review it well to great when the reality is oft anything but.

from the people that are playing it, there are comparisons to Blops 1, which is good. I'm not sure where they are getting that from the videos I have seen, but I will defer to their better judgement at this point. They are saying it is faster though, which considering that it was already fast and twitchy before (and not to my taste as a result) makes me a bit meh about it all.

The story is getting very positive feedback too.

Either way, it's a rental for me. Im struggling to scrape together the cash for GTA5 enough as it is, and I sure as hell cant afford another game. I will be very very surprised though if, upon receiving the game and trying for myself, I will find myself wishing I could afford to buy it.

I've caved and bought it. The reviews read really well and I'm pleased to see the "review in progress" approach this year to focus mainly on the multiplayer. That makes more sense for CoD, to me.

It's not always bad - I had some of my best moments in gaming back on Blops 1 and I also enjoyed CoD 4 and MW2. Here's hoping. Aside from Halo, there's so little coming out that is likely to take off MP wise so this is worth a punt and at least they appear to have changed things up a bit.

Mt first impressions are all very positive, I'm stunned. The first CoD I've actually liked initially since Blops 1.

Of course this is all subject to review in a weeks time but so far, so good.

The gun play is great again, lots more HP than in shitty Ghosts so you can actually beat someone who was already ADS. The movement takes some getting used to, it's nowhere near as quick as Titanfall but it's still quite fast. The gameplay though, oddly, feels quite slow. Aiming down sight is slower, takes longer to kill and you're more cautious as there's more ways people can attack you with the verticality of the maps and the movement.

Played the first couple of missions of the single player last night and enjoyed it. I'm up to level 35 I think in multiplayer and I don't seem to be getting bored of it which is very rare for me on a cod game

day 1 impressions: single player seems really good. certainly impressive graphically. multiplayer is more of the same only faster and twitchier, aka fucking awful. what the hell are you people seeing in this?

it also feels like a treyarch game, which i suspect it was until activision decided to keep sledgehammer on and go to a 3 year cycle.
